This method determines an angular position of a rotary element in a system where a magnetic ring rotatably fastened to the rotary element in communication with multiple sensors each suitable for issuing a unitary electric signal representative of a magnetic field generated by the magnetic ring. At least two groups of sensors adapted to generate, based on the unitary sensor signals, at least one combined electric signal representative of the angular position of the magnetic ring. This method comprises; a) verifying the consistency the combined electric signal with at least one given rule b) assessing whether or not each group of sensors is correctly working based on the verification of step a); and if, a first group of sensors is not correctly working, disregarding its combined electric signal and relying on the combined electric signal of at least a second group of sensors for determining an angular position value.
